Eleven-year-old Lily Niederhofer joins Anitha to talk about her favourite animal—the octopus!
Lily raises awareness about the plight of octopuses, in particular the horrible conditions they would endure in an octopus farm. As an avid swimmer, she uses her skills to raise money to help protect oceans and the marine life who call it home, including octopuses.
An uplifting episode to say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. This one is full of hope and inspires us all to be kind.
